Limited Edition 180g Clear Vinyl LP!
Benny And Us is the sixth album by AWB, who were joined by Soul/R&B legend Ben E. King, and was originally released in 1977. The album reached #33 in the USA. Benny And Us includes the singles "Get It Up For Love" (later covered by Tata Vega), "The Message", a new version of "Keepin' It To Myself" and the classic "A Star In The Ghetto". It was produced by Atlantic's legendary producer Arif Mardin and Jerry Greenberg.
Widely and rightly regarded as one of the best ever soul and funk bands, the now legendary Average White Band tore up the rule book and conquered the US, UK & International charts with a series of soul and disco hits between 1974 and 1980. Snoop Dogg, Fatboy Slim, Ice Cube, Puff Daddy, TLC, Rick Ross, will.i.am and Mark Ronson amongst countless others, have all borrowed sections of their grooves.
